UNLOCKED! Left on Read - Post Captain
We've unlocked our discussion of Post Captain, the second in the Aubery Maturin series, to the $5 dollar tier, so you can check it out. If you like this, check out the next instalment - HMS Surprise - now on the $10 tier!
November and Riley are back at it again, swashbuckling on the high seas. While talking about this book we both loved, we found ourselves talking about comic writing in books that aren't necessarily comedies, the tangled and often at odds state institutions of regency Britain, and why on earth you'd run an anarcho capitalist navy.

I assume that TF will soon introduce a carafe of port that will be drunk throughout recording.
Deer is kosher, but that *particular* deer would not be, having been killed by a moving vehicle and not slaughtered in a way compliant with kashrut.
I loved these two episodes a lot. Are more master and Commander shenanigans coming to the five dollar level? :)
GIRL. i know for a FACT that there were quite a few Japanese fans of the film who got into reading the books as well and created thousands of cute chibified Jacks and Stephens as well as Animefied Yaoi fan arts. As well as the tumblr and livejournal communities that pumped out reams of fan fiction both horny and slice of life and occasionally touching into Hornblower/Sharpe and Pirates of the Caribbean to date when that happened.
Okay, now you have me savaging my bookshelves searching out these novels, which could be bloody anywhere and certainly aren't where they should be, because I cannot NOT reread them after listening to the pair of you. Thanks. It's not like my 'to-read' pile was under control or anything.
Looking forward to attend the next showing of Your Problem Is Thus, a public lecture series about calamity with engravings, concerning the HMS Polychrest
Oh well played sir!
